May 24 program on Corbin Wildlife Park
On Friday, May 24 at 6:30 p.m., the WHS will host a talk entitled "Corbin’s Animal Garden," a fascinating topic by author and academic Dr. Mary Kronenwetter. The program will take place at the Wilmot Community Association Red Barn, 64 Village Road (next to the post office) in Wilmot.
Dr. Kronenwetter uses an illustrated slideshow featuring archival images to enhance a discussion of the complicated history of Corbin Park. This park, still in existence today, is the legacy of New Hampshire’s own American Gilded Age robber baron, Austin Corbin. (more)
